Keichousaurus fossils

Middle Triassic age, Guanling Formation, Xingyi, Guizhou, China.

The matrix is a compacted mix of fine volcanic ash, silt and is intersected by natural calcite mineral formations.

Fossil has NO restoration, highlighting, paint, carving or any kind of enhancement - fossil has been fully tested for paint, highlighting, carving, resin, adhesives and all other known methods of artificially produced elements.

Colour variation amongst the bones are the result of fossilization & an artifact of preparation (method of removing matrix to expose bones) - THERE IS NO PAINT OR ENHANCEMENT.

Matrix has NO repair - the slate usually fractures on excavation - ALL white lines are natural calcite mineral veining - the matrix has been tested  & proves genuine.
